Asiamet Resources Limited ("Asiamet" or the "Company") was notified on 17 May 2023 that Darryn McClelland, Chief Executive Officer purchased 5,500,000 common shares of par value US$0.01 each ("Common Shares") at 1.00p per share in the Company. Darryn McClelland now holds an interest of 10,500,000 shares in Asiamet equivalent to 0.48% of the issued share capital of the Company.
Darryn McClelland, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"Having recently released the updated Feasibility Study for the BKM Copper project I can see a clear path forward for one of the very few advanced, near-term construction copper projects in the Asian region. Our focus now turns to project financing for BKM and with strong fundamentals underpinning the copper market into the future this process is expected to be well supported. The syndicated bank process commenced months ago with formal appointment of a lead bank the next step. The BKM Copper project coupled with further development of the broader BKM mineral district including the high value BKZ polymetallic resource, and the large, globally significant Beutong copper-gold resource provide excellent optionality to grow Asiamet into the future. With a supportive major shareholder who shares the vision of the need for responsible supply of energy transition metals to key markets in Asia, the future is bright for Asiamet."
